ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Grizzlies 11/25/2005

dang'ol

 

not sure if you're aware of the fact that we're 3-10?

are the game threads supposed to be 5 stars?

give me a break. lol

 

We have a nice little streak going against the bulls. last year we smashed them in both time we met. this season however, the way were playing, it'll be hard.

 

C'mon blazer ben!
In the immortal words of Chris Rock I'm trying to be PO-SI-TIVE!!

We're one game off from having the same record as the Atlanta Hawks!!
Give me some hope here !!

 

You're right.

 

Bottom line: Rockets +6 when Yao was on the floor. Although Yao didn't do much offensively in 1st half, his defense was good. Yao is able to keep Rockets close, but not able to carry them to a win. That's been the story so far this season.

 

yep it'll be real tough. This year's rox is nowhere near the caliber of last year's rockets at the end of the season. This team has a lot of work ahead and Tmac's untimely injury is about the worse thing that could happen to us.

Wish Yao would assert himself and pick up some fouls to send a message.

 

I honestly think we'll win. we play well against them, for some reason or another. i'l go out on the limb, we'll win by 6

 

Looks like the Rockets will be 51-31 after a 3-15 start this season.

 

What did Yao do to keep the Rockets close? I think he prevented them from winning the game. As far as defensively, he was atrocious. He did not have any impact until the last 4 minutes of the game.

 

Do you think the next rockets win will spark a nice little win streak to right the ship?

 

Actually Yao did have several blocks and tough on the ball defense throughout the game.

 

Who the heck cares about what your overly used silly phrase means. You could well be the only person who finds it funny, but it surely annoys the heck of everybody else. Give it a rest or take a hike.

 

The thing that puzzled me now is that we were not this bad last season when Tmac sit out. We played pretty well in those games, and Yao played like an all-star. Maybe some insiders can give us a clue.

 

Dang'ol!! Welcome to the game thread tonight. Glad you could make it!

 

The bulls real strength is REBOUNDING .they have got guys like Chandler, sweetney and so on.guess what our biggest weakness is? Rebounding. i hop Howard, Swift and yao better be ready to control the boards.

BTW, there fleet footed running brigade might cause some havoc against Wesley and DA, but head will be fine. i think yao will finally have a big one, and we'l win by 6

 

I don't think so. When Yao was on the bench, opponents usually attack basket aggressively and more often than not they scores. Yao altered a lot shots which is very easy to be ignored by you people.

 

That Duhon-Hinrich combo has gotten pretty good this year. I've been watching them and that team kind of reminds me of a young inexperienced version of the Pistons. They play very well as a team and everyone's roles are clearly defined.

 

Looking at our Scheduel, it's more then possible. the next 5 games are all games that we can win.

Chicago@home
Atlanta@home
Memphis@home
Boston@home
Kings-Away

Realisticly speaking, we can and should win 4 out of 5 of those games.

 

I don't remember game threads being rated 2 or 3 stars last season, even when we were 6-11. Star rating is not about win or loss, it's about the quality of the thread. Game thread are where many Rockets fans chime in, have their opinions heard, and they exchange ideas. That's why they are always 5 stars. You are right, it's supposed to be 5 stars, even when we are 3-10.
